UK QB Silver Falcon 10 oz 2020
At Queen Elizabeth II’s 1953 coronation, ten statues called The Queen’s Beasts stood guard at the entrance to Westminster Abbey. Each creature represented a strand of the young woman’s ancient royal heritage that passed to her on that historic day. In 2016, the Royal Mint reincarnated the ten royal guardians in a beautiful new coin series called The Queen’s Beasts. Each new release explores one of these ten fantastical protectors and the centuries-old story they have to tell. The sixth release in the Queen’s Beasts 10-coin series commemorates the majestic Falcon of the Plantagenets. The falcon and fetterlock passed to the Queen through the Plantagenet King Edward III as an emblem of the Houses York and Lancaster. The Falcon was later adopted by Henry VIII and established as one of his daughter Elizabeth I’s favorite royal beasts. For 2019, the Falcon of the Plantagenets is beautifully reimagined in an impressive 10 oz of .9999 fine silver. Add this stunning sixth coin in the Queen’s B
